Visual Coordination Made Effortless with Revizto
Observations by Kaarthika Narasimman, AcePLP Code Checker Squad
Revizto positions itself as a single, integrated BIM collaboration platform combining clash detection, model coordination, and issue tracking into one interface. Unlike Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) or Navisworks, which split these functions across multiple modules and licenses, Revizto offers a unified environment designed to be intuitive even for non-technical users. This review summarizes what we observed using Revizto for multidisciplinary coordination, highlighting where it excels, where it has trade-offs, and practical considerations for teams deciding whether to adopt it. At the end, we invite you to share your own experience and ratings to help create a more balanced picture of Revizto’s place in today’s BIM workflows.
1. Setup and Usability
Revizto’s biggest differentiator is simplicity. Its interface feels more like a modern app than a traditional BIM tool, which lowers the barrier for onboarding field teams and clients. Because all functionality (clash detection, 2D/3D viewing, issue tracking) sits in one platform, there’s less “module hopping” compared to ACC, where users must switch between Docs, Model Coordination, and Build. Field users benefit from offline model access, which is crucial on sites with poor connectivity.
👉 How quickly were your teams able to adopt Revizto? Did it reduce the time you spend on training compared to Navisworks or ACC?
2. Clash Detection & Model Coordination
Revizto’s Clash Automation is built directly into the platform. Setting up tests (including hard/soft clash types, tolerance settings, level or zone filters) is faster and more visual than building search sets manually in Navisworks. Grouping and assigning clashes is streamlined. Revizto can group by proximity, system classification, or level, resulting in fewer duplicates and more actionable clash lists . Teams can review clashes on tablets or iPads, something ACC does not handle well in the field. That said, Navisworks still has the edge for certain highly customized search sets or advanced workflows (like Timeliner 4D scheduling). Revizto is optimized for coordination, not simulation or animation-heavy tasks.
👉 Have you compared clash results between Navisworks and Revizto? Did Revizto’s auto-grouping reduce noise and false positives?
3. Collaboration and Issue Tracking
Revizto’s single issue tracker is one of its most praised features. Issues live in the same space as 2D/3D views and are tied to exact XYZ coordinates, making them easy to locate and resolve . Custom workflows, statuses, and attributes are supported, allowing projects to standardize how issues are triaged and closed. The ability to add photos, voice notes, or GPS-tagged comments directly from the field reduces back-and-forth and speeds up resolution. Compared to ACC, which splits issues across multiple modules, Revizto offers a true “single source of truth.”
👉 Question:
How has Revizto’s unified issue tracker impacted your project workflows? Did it help reduce duplicated issues and improve communication between office and field teams?
4. Performance and Accessibility
Built on the Unity gaming engine, Revizto loads large federated models faster than many cloud-first platforms. Teams noted that ACC can lag or even struggle to open very large models, whereas Revizto remains responsive. Revizto also merges 2D and 3D environments, letting users overlay sheets on models, auto-create section boxes, and visually trace issues across views. This helps stakeholders “tell the story” of a clash or design decision more clearly.
👉 Question:
Do you notice a performance difference between Revizto and ACC or Navisworks when working with very large models? Has Revizto’s speed made model reviews more inclusive for non-technical stakeholders?
5. Strengths & Limitations
Strengths:
- Single integrated platform (2D, 3D, issues, clash detection).
- Intuitive user interface which helps faster onboarding for field teams and clients.
- Clash grouping, filtering, and assignment far more efficient than Navisworks/ACC.
- Offline access and mobile/iPad functionality for field coordination.
- Supports VR/AR natively, point cloud visualization, and wide file format compatibility.
- Strong customer support and training.
Limitations:
- Not a full replacement for Navisworks if you rely heavily on Timeliner or advanced 4D simulations.
- Attribute interrogation is available but limited; exporting to Excel may still be needed for deep model validation.
- Clash automation is powerful but still benefits from disciplined model preparation (proper levels/zones).
👉 If you’ve used BIMCollab, which of these strengths or limitations match your experience most closely?
6. Comparison to Solibri & Navisworks
Compared to Solibri, Revizto focuses less on deep rule-based checking and more on practical, fast clash detection and resolution workflows. If your project demands strict IFC property validation, Solibri may still be the better tool but Revizto shines in speed and team adoption. Compared to Navisworks, Revizto is less manual: no plugins needed for issue tracking, 2D/3D overlay, or grouping clashes. Navisworks remains useful for very large, highly detailed search set logic or where custom transformations/animations are needed, but it requires more training and licenses.
👉 Question:
Do you run Revizto alongside Solibri or Navisworks, or has Revizto replaced them for most of your clash coordination? How do you decide which platform is best for each stage of the workflow?
